ContraPoints' conspiracy video how conspiracy theories are an outgroth of authoritarian thinking. for an antiauthoritarian, it's often pretty straighforward to look at social dysfunction and see power relations that seem to cause it. but an authoritarian can't do that, they by-and-large drank the kool-aid of government legitimacy. for them, the power itself can't be the problem. the problem must be _who_ is in power.

@lain @kaia "nice lady feed me melon pls"

@kaia the one german word that consistently slips in my english conversations. :D

@kura @lain

fiesoduck-flagge. :P

aber das ganze ding ist halt ne staatliche lösung für ein staatlich geschaffenes problem: monopolschutz. sonst hätte dieses lightning-ding vermutlich schon lange micro-usb ersetzt, weil jeder es einfach benutzen könnte…

@lain that means in 4 years, it will be over 100 👀!

#TIL: #pumpkin is a type of squash, and the german "kürbis" refers to all squashes, not just pumpkins 🎃.

Kürbis Dream Land

gotta post my anarchist flags everywhere i go. 😎

here's the rest of them: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Opensofias#anarchist_flags

@TodePond @annika only one gif supported for now 🧐.

@kaia one again, mightier than the sword 😌.

i gotta say, having a wooden fireplace in your house seems like just as bad an idea in the dream as awake. but maybe awake people would be more hesitant to use it anyways…

@nordern ah, the three states of mind:

* asleep
* awake
* gaming

@lain @kaia @cell i was thinking of getting one of those natto kits go make some myself (and then try it), is there anything important i should know?

@kaia @schappi @lain yeah, but i guess it's more noticable when the rim isn't white.

i guess it's kinda cool, it just was new to me.

@kaia @schappi @lain okay, but like spanish roas signs are 3D? they got a thick rim, continuing the outer color. i've never seen that before 👀.

one phenomenon that seems to get more and more blatant is that left-to-center (and supposedly "liberal") parties make full use of the rise of fascist parties to push enact more authoritarianism themselves.

their ideology is their sales pitch, but state power is their lifeblood. and as long as there is a convincingly "greater evil", the opportunity for doing evil themselves.

@lain 🤔 but still not formal enough to be trivially verified by a proof assistant.

but like, imagine thinking what's wrong with the world is that privileged people have the wrong emotions.

the whole greed discourse is so ridiculous…

me, woking up the gamers in youtube comments: "the problem isn't greed, it's intellectual property and people's acceptance of it."

chili sin carne, but with extra sin 😎.
